Thanks for reminding us to find joy in even the smallest things, @Debinhawaii! 💙
1. Rainbows.
2. Thrifty cylindrical ice cream. #IFKTYK
3. Our little retro place in Pinetop-Lakeside.
4. The weather up here.
5. Matt, Kate, & Pip. #always

Please share your joys with us!

TheBookHippie Did the pup take her meds?!?! 3d

dabbe @TheBookHippie It's still a battle. I now pack just one pill in a little bit of liver sausage, and she finally took them this morning. TWELVE pills. And TWELVE tonight. She's been a royal pain and it lucky she's cute. 🖤🐾🖤 3d

TheBookHippie @dabbe Winnie sends her much sympathy…she was worried for her… (edited) 3d

Leftcoastzen All great joys ! That place looks cute ! 3d

Aims42 That ice cream and your place looks amazing!!! YUM! (edited) 3d

dabbe @TheBookHippie Pippa sends a kiss back to Winnie! 🖤🐾🖤 3d

dabbe @Leftcoastzen It is! Perfect for two people + two dogs. 💙💚💙 3d

dabbe @Aims42 Thrifty was a big store in the southwest since I was a kid. You could buy a triple-decker cone for only 15 cents (5 cents for each scoop). And their scoops were shaped like a cylinder. Such memories! 🍦🩶🍦 3d

Aims42 @dabbe Awwwww! Love a trip down memory lane, especially when a tasty treat is involved 😋 3d

I can't believe I turn 60 this Bastille Day. Yet every time a body part creaks, I smile in recognition.

Sixty this July.
Mirror whispers, “How can that be?“
Time's swift river flows.

Amiable ❤️ Wonderful haiku! Age is just a number. 3w

AlaMich My wife is turning 60 next week. She seems ok with it but I don‘t know if I am! 3w

AmyG Better than the alternative. 60 wasn‘t so hard for me….that is the moment I sort of just gave up. 🤣 @AlaMich Ha! If she is ok, you are ok! 3w

AlaMich @AmyG Well, I‘m next in two years so…👵🏻 3w

mcctrish I was 60 last year and I still can‘t believe it - although Mariska Hargitay is too and that makes me feel better 3w

AllDebooks I'm 56 on Monday, time does whizz by! 3w

Deblovestoread Welcome to my decade! I‘ll be 66 in August. My husband and I were talking how long we‘d have Pippin and thought 13 or 14 more years…in 14 years I‘ll be 80 🤯 A friend said 80 is the new 60 so you‘re just a youngster 😂 3w

TheLudicReader I loved turning 60, I have say. I felt freeeeeeeeeeee. I hope you do, too. 3w

JenlovesJT47 Time flies when you‘re having fun!! 💙🩵💙 3w

dabbe @AllDebooks Happy early birthday to you! 💙🩵💙 3w

Texreader I just have three more years to 60! It‘s crazy!! It more power to us!! 3w

dabbe @Deblovestoread When you're 16, the years ahead seem to go on forever. Now, it's like, holy crap! The years seem quite smaller now in number! And that can't be true that you'll be 80. Nope. We'll just keep staying in our 60s no matter what the calendar says. 💙🩵💙 3w

dabbe @TheLudicReader I think I will. Looking forward to being free with you in 4 weeks! 😍 3w

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 There's a haiku in there; I can feel it! 💙🩵💙 3w

dabbe @LiseWorks Nope. I just wrote @Deblovestoread that we're all going to stay in our 60s no matter what the calendar says! 💙🩵💙 3w

JenlovesJT47 Is there something going on with the tagging? I‘ve missed several posts for some reason today 🤔 3w

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 This one's on me! I didn't do any tagging at all! 😂 I'll fix it. 💙🩵💙 3w

JenlovesJT47 Oh oops! 😅 no worries!! 3w

dabbe @lil1inblue A much-needed quote! TY, m'dear! 💙🩵💙 3w

TheBookHippie Aren‘t we 35 still? 3w

julieclair This haiku perfectly captures not only how I feel about my own age (turned 68 in June - how is that possible) but also the ages of my friends‘ kids and grandkids. They all seem to be 3-5 years older than they are in my mind. 🤪 3w

dabbe @julieclair IKR? I'm still a teenager in my mind--until I move, that is. 🤪 3w

@Debinhawaii (thanks for the tag! 😍)

1. I'm not Catholic, but I'm glad that a progressively-minded pope was chosen. Born and bred in Chicago, no less! 🤩
2. Watched out beloved D-backs beat LA last night! Picture is from our seats.
3. The newly-formed #haikuhive on Litsy. Reading everyone's haikus has brought such joy this May! 💛🐝🖤
4. It rained early this week. #sobsofjoy 😭
5. Matt, Kate, Pippa. #always

Aims42 I‘m not Catholic but I already like Pope Leo because he does not agree with #VampyVance 😂 Hopefully he continues down the path that Pope Francis was forging. Plus the Chicago connection is very cool 🤩🍕🐻 2mo

dabbe @Aims42 🎯🩵🎯 2mo

AnnCrystal @dabbe 😉👌🐝💝. 2mo

IriDas Thursday‘s game was really good. I enjoyed it, even though the Dodgers lost. Last night‘s game—that was wild. But I‘m a fan of the game, as well as the Dodgers, so it wasn‘t as enjoyable as it was entertaining. :) I had predicted they‘d each take two games, they‘re halfway there. 2mo

dabbe @IriDas Our bull pen sucks! 😂 And the Dodgers are just incredibly hot right now. Two great nights of baseball. ❤️🖤🩵 2mo

TheBookHippie @AmyG RIGHT?!?!?! I was beyond happy! 2mo

DogMomIrene I grew up with Catholicism forced on me. I‘m an atheist now, but even I‘m happy to see another progressive Pope. The Christian Nationalists terrify me. 2mo

dabbe @DogMomIrene YES!!! 🎯🩵🎯 I think we think a lot alike! 😍 2mo

dabbe @MemoirsForMe Total 🍀! 4mo

mcctrish Ooo I have to look some of these ups ( nothing makes me feel dumber that connections when I can‘t figure it out but some categories are stupid ) and yes octordle is 8 ❤️❤️❤️ I used to play betweenle - a dictionary game but I think it was one too many games 4mo

As commented on @dabbe a few minutes ago:

While I'm good with variety posts, I'm rather new here on Litsy and only know the Litsy as it has been since my joining this magical community.

I find Litsy a safe place, a gathering place that serves a community of members like a mom and pop bookstore. We recognize one another if we visit often. We learn about one another, celebrate each other, offer emotional support, etc.

👇

AnnCrystal Also, as a community of readers, teachers, and creatives, I believe it is important for us to keep each other informed in our crazy world. We are the ones the suppressors try to silence out in the real world.

Please know that Litsy has become a home on the world wide web. Thank all Littens who make this place absolutely wonderful 🫂📚💝. (edited) 5mo

AnnCrystal Now, that being made perfectly clear, the last thing I want to do is annoy anyone here ✌️📚💝.

Therefore, for all future posts that do not relate to books, stories, writings, writers, or authors in some way will include the hashtag #unrelated2books...I hope this helps 😉👌💝.

As @dabbe offered with her hashtag, please feel free to use any of my created hashtags if needed, or put your own spin on them ☺️👍💝. (edited) 5mo

DogMomIrene I‘m here for the non-book related posts too. They help me walk in someone else‘s shoes, like books! 5mo

Terrible that you felt the need to leave, not only your state, but the country. Thankfully, you seem to have found such a quaint community to make your home 🏡💝. Love your fur babies 💕🐕🐾🐕💝. (edited) 5mo

DogMomIrene @dabbe Thanks! Lots of people in US looking to move internationally. I‘ve talked to a few friends about it. Many options. Canada‘s looking for skilled workers, especially in healthcare. Hubby was a nurse. That‘s how we got a work permit and applied for PR. 5mo

bthegood Thanks for this post and #unrelated2books - I enjoy your posts - glad you are part of my Litsy world. 🙂 (edited) 5mo
